These resources have already made a big difference in our classroom.\r\n\r\nAt school, students use Chromebooks every day to complete assignments, take assessments, practice math skills, write essays, and participate in interactive lessons. Having their own headphones means they can focus on what they need to hear without distractions from others. For example, students working on reading fluency or language support programs can now listen clearly and build confidence without worrying about background noise.\r\n\r\nThe protective bags have made our classroom more organized. Instead of tangled cords and broken headphones, students can easily grab what they need, which saves time and keeps equipment in good shape. This responsibility also helps them feel ownership of their learning tools.\r\n\r\nThe computer mice have been the biggest surprise hit! Many students find Chromebook touchpads tricky, especially when dragging, highlighting, or designing projects. Having real mice has made these tasks faster and less frustrating. One student who often struggled with typing and navigating the touchpad now volunteers to help classmates because using a mouse has made him feel more capable and successful.\r\n\r\nWhat excites my students most is the independence these tools give them. They don't have to wait for shared headphones or struggle with broken equipment. They can dive right into learning and stay focused from start to finish.","fullyFundedDate":1755741640395,"projectUrl":"project/headphones-and-tools-for-chromebook-succ/9582773/","projectTitle":"Headphones and Tools for Chromebook Success","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. England","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-10_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6238158"},{"teacherId":6230694,"projectId":9518218,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous donation of Expo markers for our vertical boards!

My students and I use these resources in nearly every lesson—markers bring our anchor charts and group brainstorms to life, while binders help students organize their notes and project materials with ease. One specific project where the supplies made a huge difference was our book report presentations. Each student selected a favorite book, used the markers to create colorful visuals and summaries, and organized their drafts and feedback in their binders. The erasers made editing and revising their work much easier.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, their faces lit up with genuine enthusiasm. Many immediately started discussing how the colorful markers would make their projects stand out, and several commented on how having their own binders made them feel more responsible and \"grown up.\" It was heartwarming to see students eager to dive into their work simply because they had quality supplies at their fingertips. The excitement was contagious, and it set a positive tone for the rest of the week.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, these new resources will continue to play a key role in upcoming lessons. For example, students will soon be starting a collaborative science notebook project, using the binders to track experiments and reflections. The markers will help them illustrate their observations, and the erasers will support a growth mindset as they draft and revise their work.
